Nova Centauri 2013 (7 December 2013)

Nova Centauri 2013 imaged with iTelescope T9 on the morning of Saturday 7 December at 3:45 am AEDST.

Exposure time was 30 seconds, and it is still overexposed. I'll try again tomorrow. No useful nearby reference starts (come back T12 all is forgiven) to estimate the magnitude, looks like it has maxed out at around magnitude 3.6-3.7 from recent reports.
